DAY 14// 348 HOURS

+ 12:30AM – MAY 21, 2009 + 348 hours ago, I was covered in paint with a handful of preschool and kindergarten kids. 348 hours ago, I got the phone call that he was going to be born on May 6. Now, nearly 1600 miles later, 1000 miles over the need for an oil change, […]

DAY 13// THE END MAY BE IN SIGHT

At this moment, Angie and I are both curled up on a hospital twin bed watching Isaac breathe.  We’re not sure how else you check to see if a baby is doing OK without monitors and bells. This AM we got a call from the hospital asking if we’d like to “room in” tonight.  That’s […]

A COUPLE OF THINGS BEFORE I GO TO BED//

#1. We know a lot of people are praying for Isaac and for us.  It’s down to the last issue.  As previously stated, he’s had some heart rate drops that are keeping him from passing his car seat test.  Tonight was no different.  I talked to the nurse about 15 minutes ago and he made […]

DAY 10//

Today has been a good day… if you’ll notice the picture, the nasal cannula is gone!  This morning at about 9:45 they took him off all breathing support and he’s doing well!  At 11:30, Angie fed him his whole bottle (all 45cc’s).  This was the second in a row today!  They’re going to leave the […]

DAY 9// STAYING AWAKE

(LINK TO TODAY’S PHOTO) Time in the NICU is like time nowhere else. It just disappears. I’m not sure if it’s because we’re sitting here staring at our son or if it’s because it’s so different than the rest of life. It’ll feel like we’ve been there for 15 minutes and it’s been 2 hours. […]
